Alfalah Tours: Umrah and Hajj packages departing from UK cities

Alfalah Tours Limited is a British travel company focused on pilgrimage travel. Its catalogue is built around Umrah and Hajj packages, organised by travel month, by departure city and by hotel category. The company presents itself as an "excellent rated Company" and addresses Muslims in the United Kingdom who are planning the pilgrimage, describing Hajj as an obligation once in life for those who are financially and physically able, and Umrah as a Sunnah.

Packages are grouped into three-star, four-star and five-star tiers, and the site also lists seasonal programmes for January, February, September, October, November, December, Ramadan and Easter, alongside dedicated Hajj packages.

How the Umrah packages are structured

The standard format combines nights in Makkah and nights in Madinah, return flights, an Umrah visa and transport. Most of the listed offers are built for four people sharing a room, and the hotel names change from one package to another, which is the main variable behind the price differences.

Two lengths dominate the catalogue: seven-night programmes, typically split into four nights in Makkah and three in Madinah, and ten-night programmes split five and five. There are also fourteen-night options with seven nights in each city. A separate search form allows travellers to set their own combination of nights in Makkah and Madinah, from one to fifteen in each, together with hotel category, origin city, room occupancy and the number of adults, children and infants.

Hotels named in the offers

The accommodation listed varies widely between packages. Among the Makkah hotels mentioned are Areej Al Falah, Saja Makkah, Dar Al Eiman Al Sud, Fajr Al Badea, Anwar Al Rayan, Land Premium, Nozol Al Falah, Atro Hotel, Al Kiram Hotel Al Azizia and The Private Airport Hotel. In Madinah, the catalogue cites Al Eiman Ohud, Zaha Taiba Hotel, Grand Plaza Al Madina, Mubarak Al Masi, Hotel Karam Almadina, Al Eiman Al Nour, Artal Taiba, Shaza Regency Hotel, Emaar Elite Al Madina Hotel and Diyar Al Safa, among others.

Some entries also include stopover-style hotels outside Saudi Arabia, such as Olivia Pyramids View, Glow Pyramids View Hotel, Garden City Hotel Dubai, Holiday Inn Express Dubai Jumeirah by IHG, Al Muntazah Plaza Hotel and Premier Inn Doha Education City.

Prices shown in the catalogue

The site lists per-person starting prices ("fr." pp) for each package.

Ramadan and Easter departures sit higher, at £635 and £623 respectively for seven-night programmes, with a further Ramadan option at £714.

Ten-night packages start at £457 and run through a series of monthly departures into the £500s and £600s, reaching £711 for a Ramadan programme. Fourteen-night options begin at £423 and rise to £524 for a February departure. All prices are presented as per person on the basis of four people sharing a room.

Departure cities and enquiry options

Its enquiry forms list a wider set of UK departure airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City, Manchester, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Glasgow, Liverpool, Newcastle, East Midlands, Aberdeen, Leeds Bradford, Cardiff, Norwich and Humberside.

Two further services appear in the navigation: a "Beat My Price" option, presented as a way to compare a quoted price against the company's own, and an instalments plan for spreading payment. Enquiries are separated into Umrah and Hajj forms, and travellers can indicate a preferred contact time around prayer times.

Contact and opening hours

The company publishes a main telephone line and a WhatsApp channel, together with a general enquiries address and a separate support address. Its stated telephone availability is 9:00am to 9:00pm on weekdays.
